Wealthy People today can also be distinguished today by the cloths they wear or the cars they drive.

When wealth emerged so did poverty. What Poverty is in a society, is the absence of wealth. The areas of a community where wealth is lacking is what creates poverty. Many people today are born into poverty just like people are born rich. Babies born into Poor families were doomed from birth to suffer in life, until they are pulled out of poverty. In many cases people were forced into living poor lives. The shackles of slavery deprived people from their wealth, homes, and social standings to succumb to the will of another man. Records of this date back to the Ancient Greeks.
